Our trucks have been used for trenching, to dig piling holes, pole holes, and post holes, pipeline crossings, to dig service pits, for debris removal (like filter media) from distances over 500' aw...

What can we do for you? Some people call it potholing, test holes, soft dig or non-destructive excavating but we call it daylighting. A Badger Hydrovac truck uses low-pressure water and a powerful vacuum to quickly and safely expose buried utilities. Utility excavation is not the only solution though. Our trucks have been used for trenching, to dig piling holes, pole holes, and post holes, pipeline crossings, to dig service pits, for debris removal (like filter media) from distances over 500' away from the truck, for drill rig cleaning or frac tank clean outs, for cleaning out the bottom of elevator shafts, and for safely digging in frozen ground. Badger's Hydrovac service can enhance your risk management strategy on most projects including crowded right-of-ways, remote and hard to access
